Epping Forest Oak Trail

​We're taking SCC into the countryside for our FIRST EVER organised hike!

​Join us for a beautiful day exploring Epping Forest, surrounded by ancient woodland, open landscapes and nature. Whether you're new to hiking or simply looking for an opportunity to get outdoors and meet like-minded sisters, we'd love to have you join us!

​This is a beginner-friendly hike, making it a great introduction for those who are new to countryside walking. No previous hiking experience is required, but a reasonable level of fitness is recommended.

​Our hike will be led by professional hiking guides, who will lead the group throughout the route.
